The End Child Poverty Bus Tour May 17-20, 2019 #ECPBusTour

The End Child Poverty Bus Tour launches Friday, May 17, in Chula Vista, then heads to LA, Pomona, Weedpatch, Fresno, Salinas, Oakland, and closes with a rally in Sacramento on Monday, May 20. Parents, foster youth, elected leaders, and community advocates will be headlining the stops.

Child poverty is a moral crisis, a public
health crisis, and a state fiscal crisis. Before the state budget is finalized,
we’re asking parents, children, and communities across California to demand
action on our child poverty crisis. California has more children living in
poverty than any other state. One in five California children lives in poverty.
That’s almost 2 million children—with 450,000 of those children living in
families trying to survive on less than $12,900 per year. But we also have
a comprehensive
plan to end deep child poverty. Let’s Pass the Plan.

The End Child Poverty Plan

The End Child Poverty Plan will eliminate deep child poverty in four years and cut overall child poverty in half in 10-20 years by investing in programs that support families. Over 30 bills representing the plan are moving through the State Legislature right now.

Our voices and energy will ensure the plan gets passed. Now is the time to act.
